Shops, banks, schools, and government offices were shut down heeding the call by political forces for the strike, according to Wafa news agency.

Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah party called for a general strike across “all Palestinian sectors”.

Public transportation has also joined the strike. Excluded from the strike were hospitals and clinics and some educational facilities.

Pence, a pro-Israel who pushed for recognition of Jerusalem (al-Quds) as Israel’s capital and a strong advocate of moving the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, is expected to visit Al-Buraq Wall, one of the walls of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem’s Old City, on Tuesday.

On Sunday night, several Palestinian protesters burned a photo of Mike Pence in the West Bank city of Bethlehem against his arrival in Israel earlier in the day.

The visit, part of a wider tour of Middle Eastern countries, comes amid simmering Palestinian anger at Trump’s December recognition of Jerusalem (al-Quds) as Israel’s capital.

Initially scheduled for December before being postponed, Pence’s visit is the final leg of a trip that included stops in Egypt and Jordan as well as a visit earlier in the day to a US military facility near the Syrian border.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed Pence in a Facebook post, and later at an event for foreign diplomats, hailing the US vice president as a “great friend of Israel.”

Hours after the terrorist attack at two spots in Tehran, the normal life of the people in the city is going on. Safety and confidence could be felt in people and no trace of the terror or anxiety of the attacks can be perceived in the citizens. While the security forces are in alarm mode, the people are in the street doing their typical daily jobs. Parks, shops, and clubs are filled with people who are preparing themselves for the holidays (which are Thursday and Friday in Iran.)

Less than 12 hours after the start of attacks, videos have been published showing the people on the roofs of houses shouting ‘Allah-u-Akbar’ (God is the greatest). The shout is a symbol of solidarity among Muslims and Iranians and sort of expression of condolences for the families who lost their relations in the attacks. The hashtags ‘PrayForIran’ and ‘WeAreTogether’ have been trended in Iran showing the unity and collective confidence among Iranians.

Iran has proved a safe country in the Middle East while most surrounding countries deal with war and recurrent terrorist attacks. The leader of Iran called today’s terrorist attack in Tehran ‘cracker games’ by coward who will be exterminated soon in the future.

The terrorist attacks today, which were claimed by ISIS group, had 12 people killed and 44 injuries. The parliament and Ayatollah Khomeini mausoleum were centers of attacks which were both controlled by security forces in less than four hours.
